Chapman-Whitney
I've been out on the street
Some rough and ready beat
Been kept by downtown ladies on the game.
Got hooked up once on shame
A regular ball and chain
Oh yes, I've been out when the sun turned grey.
And when it rains (it's all rain)
When it rains (it's all rain)
When it rains.
Rain rain rain rain rain, rain.
Well, I've been down and broke
Just had to steal or choke
Been kept on peanuts by the government.
A shook up crazy kid
No matter what he did
He got the feeling that he did it all in vain.
And when it rains (it's all rain)
When it rains (it's all rain)
When it rains.
Rain rain rain rain rain, rain.
Well, it seemed to get much easier
And I got up off the ground
Took myself to town and better things.
But it's funny how you see no end
When you don't know the score
Never know what better times are for.
When it rains (it's all rain)
Now when it rains (it's all rain)
When it rains, well, it's all rain.
When it rains
When it rains
When it rains
When it rains, rains, rains.
